Description
Rhapsody 43 Royal, ZIROCCO - Swedish-owned solidly built long-distance cruiser.
After comprehensive renovations in 2012 – 2017, ZIROCCO has been very carefully maintained and continuously upgraded to a high standard over the years. As an example of this, in the spring of 2025 the teak deck has been sanded and treated with Boracol and new TruDesign maintenance-free through hull fittings have been installed, the hull sides have been newly polished and waxed and the bottom has got 2 layers of new antifouling.
Large Owners Cabin aft and a forward cabin, both with double berths and separate toilet. Total 6 berths in two cabins + salon.
The combination of the hull's strength, torsional stiffness, stability and sailing characteristics and the well-thought-out equipment makes ZIROCCO a long-distance cruiser in a class of its own.
ZIROCCO can be compared to a yacht that is only 7-8 years old and ready to be inspected in Lagos, Portugal.
